Come one come all to the Lemmy-verse! It's nice and cozy here, we do have some "bad parts of town" but you can do an instance block and not deal with them lol

For your memes we have [email protected] if you like sciency posts mander.xyz has some excellent communities (communities=subreddits) like [email protected] and [email protected] and for a meme science combo theres always the fantastic [email protected]

You can also drop a shit(post) off at [email protected] or hang out at [email protected] (though you do have to post before you leave that one!)

There's much more around as well!

Obligatory, fuck Spez

Most definitely. I'm getting pretty sick and tired of the constant complaining about those Lemmy instances.

Also, it defaults to "Active" view, which is the least updated. You can set your posts to "Hot" and then switch between "Top 6 Hours" and "Top 12 Hours" to get the most of your experience here. It will seem dead with the default.

Top 6 and ALL is where it's at.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I usually sort by new comments. Sometimes you'll see 1 year old post still active in the comments. It's neat

Game changer

I still wish there was a better sort algorithm. Nothing compares to Reddit’s front page algorithm. I usually cycle between hot and top 12 hours.

Man you're getting worse than the hexbear edgelords who just shit on the liberals all day, except at least they're yelling at people in power and not some extremely marginal leftists who would be shot before they could ever take a seat in politics.

A good rule of politics is if someone or an ideology that you don't like and they have no power or connection to power just ignore them, especially if there on your side for 90% of actual relevant issues. Not theoretical issues that may pop up after the revolution that may never come.

Sounds good, except I believe them to be actively harmful to the reputation of the Lemmy-verse, so it's important to make a clear stand, if total defederation isn't happening.

I'd rather not Lemmy end up as another Voat. I've already seen tons of stories from the original rexit of "I tried Lemmy, but .ml/hex/grad seemed cringy/hostile so I left"

There's even some instances with old reddit-like styling/formatting, if you're into that sort of thing.

I'll pimp my example: https://old.lemmy.fan/

I don't know why I would block Lemmy.ml when it's more entertaining to get banned from their communities one by one!

[–] [email protected] 20 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

One by one? Dessalines blanket bans you from everything if you break one of their unwritten rules. Relatedly, just write out your rules. Stop trying to be sneaky-deeky. It’s ridiculous, having ultra secret rules like some sort of boy’s club. Be up front about it. It surely doesn’t take long to write “avoid questioning China or Russia” in the sidebar

I'm kinda new to the fediverse. What did lemmy.ml do?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 13 hours ago

their admins (the maintainers of the lemmy codebase) are tankies (authoritarian communists who believe the USSR was justified in quashing Hungarian protests against human rights abuses with violence). they take any criticism of the people's republic of china's government as sinophobia and have some weird opinions about the fascist government of the russian federation (effectively their explanation is that moscow achieved communist utopia in 1918 and therefor cannot backslde into a worse form of government despite overwhelming evidence that the potato shaped dickhead who sits atop the throne of skulls in moscow is maybe possibly perhaps a war criminal)

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I'd recommend visiting it or joining an instance that federates with it at least. The liberals like to make it out to be a communist propaganda machine but most of the content is memes, oss, and general left wing / anti-US stuff. They will ban you on some communities if you bring up tianemen square or uyghurs though, so that sucks, but otherwise most of the content / users on there are decent.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, I haven't had issues with them generally speaking myself, if you're a leftist you'll find comrades. But also, it's important to remember that every instance is essentially its own little fiefdom, so you'll have to follow whatever arbitrary rules they have.

I caught a ban on .world for mentioning Jury Nullification. That was a fun time, from the people who complain about freeze peach constantly.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Luckily they backed off their stance on those conversations.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I wonder if some of that was admins in NL somewhat inexperienced with commonwealth-style legal systems.

Also, you can go-to [email protected] and check out the pinned posts, Nutomic lead dev, Tankie, and .ml head admin is basically a transphobe on top (receipts in the second pinned post)

They'll also remove posts and ban you under their favorite catch-all "Rule 1 Bigotry" for anything critical of China/Russia

If you talk Ill of them, even on other instances comms they'll site-ban you. So basically like how Reddit mods of ol used to ban you for participation in unrelated subs.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 hours ago

You have been banned from r/pyongyang.
